Your player four display is bad. You can get an LED replacement for about $30.00.  The problem with that idea is that the LED display is very bright compared to the old gas displays.  So to make it look good you will end up buying four of them to make the game look right and selling you gas display

All pinballs are valued by playwear, overall condition, and particular game following.  Playwear is the physical wear on the playfield.  As for shipping locate Forward Air and call them for an estimate.  Once you take the backglass out the door with the displays will swing open and you will see four bolts holding to the larger box.  After carefully removing each of the connectors from the boards the wiring from the wire ties all of the wiring should fall thru the hole into the big box (body).  Prop the game on a box so that all of the legs are off of the ground and remove the legs. Sit the body on the ground so that the plunger and coin door are up. Acquire a pallet.  Wrap the small box (head) with the backglass in place so that the backglass is toward the playfield with some padding at the contact points.  Wrap legs together place them on the head and shrink wrap.  If you don

Thanks for your help.

I'm pretty sure it is the driver board,  likely the BCD to 7seg IC.  During boot up, there is garbage on the display but it is bright and solid.  It doesn't seem like it has outgassed.  Once the MPU completes booting, and I believe begins sending the BCD signal to the displays, that is when it starts strobing crap.  I am just guessing mind you  :-\

I think I'll try and replace the IC.  A local collector has one for me.  Unfortunately, unlike the PIAs, this one is not socketed, so my PCB solderings skill may be tested.  I will install a socket to while I'm at it.

Diagnosing and repair this has been quite rewarding, now I'd almost hate to sell it.
